Hi all - I had some ideas on using Google earth/maps for a chemistry presentation, but I'm unsure of the feasibility of my plans, or where to begin.

Essentially, what I want to do is a concurrent translation/rotation/zoom in on an aerial photograph (or a series of different res. photographs which is the way google earth does it, right?) closing in on a specific point (the street along which I collected water/soil samples to analyze).

Is this doable? I have only some vague ideas as to how this might be accomplished. Also, if it is doable, is there some way to implement it into powerpoint?

This probably sounds ambitious, and I will most likely end up abandoning the idea, but if anyone with related knowledge could point me in the right direction I would be very appreciative!

Thanks : )

So basically you just want it to animate a zoom from global view to the street?
Just make a set of like 10 or 20 pics at different heights, put them in different slides and let powerpoint automatically fade from one to the other

You could also record a video of you doing the animation on google earth and paste the video into powerpoint.

Or you could print a big version of the place you want zoomed in. Have the desk where people will watch you presentation to be far away from the opposite wall.

Extend the picture with your hands and start walking towards them while saying "woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosh". You can turn the picture around while walking for extra effect.

For that last idea, make sure to get a strobe light and a smoke machine if you can find one on short notice

Ohhh this is fantastic. Unfortunately, I fear the size of the lecture hall may undermine the dramatic effect :p

Thanks for the suggestions guys - they are helpful (even the smoke machine).

I'm open to more ideas if anyone has them!

ahahaha itw

you can covert videos to gifs and vice versa as well, if you didn't want an actual video in the powerpoint.
If you watch Godzilla backwards it's about a benevolent lizard who helps rebuild a city and then moonwalks into the ocean.

Thanks The bigger concern at this point I think is making the video/gif in the first place.

It seems like, for now, I'd essentially be print-screening in google earth (unless it has some image export), and as such it looks like the fade out/in suggested by the first reply is the most reasonable option. Though...there does seem to be a 'create tour feature'...maybe I can export that as a video? Probably not, but I'll play with it.

I guess I was vaguely hoping for some magic program that would accomplish this for me...forsooth...that is never the way.

Thanks again everyone.

Well if you're gonna end up trying to make animation with PowerPoint, you might as well record yourself zooming in on Google Earth with Fraps/Camtasia/whatever and embed it in the PPT.
